Green Dream: 1957 Triumph Born Free Build
We built a 1957 Triumph Pre Unit Show Bike for Born Free 14. Here's a compilation of the Instagram Reels we posted during the process of building the bike. The second video documents the final assembly of the bike after everything was back from chrome and after the tank, fender and frame was painted by Nathan Sykes.
This opportunity pushed our skills, creativity and the overall quality of our motorcycle building to a new level and we are extremely honored to have had our 1957 Triumph Pre Unit show bike at Born Free 14 along with some many talented builders. It is something we will always remember and be grateful for.
In the above video you witness some of the little things that go into building a show bike. That is certainly the fun stuff! This video gives an insight to how much care and attention goes into the final assembly of a show bike. It is a very meticulous process, you don't want to chip the paint or chrome and you have to work very slow and steady to avoid any mistakes. It is a high stress situation and I am sure the more you do it the better you get, but this was our first build to this high caliber and we only had about 8 months from start to finish so when this video was filmed we only had a few weeks until the show date. We finished with a few days to spare before driving to California with the bike.
